Listen in to our recent AGC Talks featured guest. Listen as Donna Willis shares The Self-Aware Lifestyle: Setting the Foundation thru Financial Awareness a motivational talk with AGC California November 2021. 

What if you hired on a new employee this year? An employee that works solely on your bottom-line growth never misses a day and multiplies everything they touched creating effortless income for you. That would be one great employee, right! 

Let me introduce your new employee. Their name is MONEY. 

Imagine if through becoming financially aware you were able to raise your income, gain additional streams of revenue, and reduce your debt, or become totally debit-free, what value would you put on that imagination! Priceless, right! 

Well, that is what becoming Financially Aware does - it moves your life from pennies and dimes to Priceless. 

Speaker Bio: 

For 30 years, Donna Tiger Willis has utilized her intense empathic and intuitive abilities to start 3-small businesses generating over a half million a year within two years of leaving a domestic violence marriage, but she kept rising and even falling, failing into the lessons and life that built her resilience to rise again, and again. She has thrived, even when she thought she was just surviving and continues to rise no matter what has knocked her down, been in her way, or seem more than she was capable of achieving. What was the trick, the secret, the inside scoop of ever evolving to her greatest and highest-self living, Self-Awareness. 

Donna discovered that throughout her years as CEO of The Christmas Connection, Event Connections and Northstar Production and Design, as well as through her time supporting and coaching C-Level executives for 15 years in the global corporate realm, that the most powerful yet confronting aspect of all our growth, whether it be personal or business development, that our hardest relationship we face is the one with ourselves. It is her lifes mission to work with others to the greatest relationship of all. The relationship that holds your success, your fulfillment, and unshakeable inner peace is the one with ourselves. The answers to all our struggles and our greatness realized are within us, when we can get out of our head, into our heart and hear our very soul. 

As the founder of Your Evolution Coach, she works with the coaching model of The Prism Principle: A Self-Aware Lifestyle, where others can find within themselves the code, the key, and the answers to not only Why am I here? but Who AM I, really? without all the layers of titles roles and responsibilities life layers on. There you are able to live authentically, free to be and live in the passions and pleasures of who you were meant to be in your own life. 

The starting foundation of a Self-Aware life begins with the base of what will create a solid ground for her clients growth providing the avenues for them to invest in themselves again through Financial Awareness.
